It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!

Chapter 188: YOU MAKE ME WORRY (2)

"At first, you only talked about work and general matters, which had absolutely nothing to do with your personal life, but over time..." Giana shifted her focus to Ramon's face now. "You started to open up about some of the things you always hid from the world outside. You started telling me about your personal problems."

The wrinkles on Ramon's forehead deepened when he heard this. It made no sense to him to talk about personal matters or some crucial matters with other people.

Had he loved Giana so much that he had forgotten all his self- made principles and just opened up on his secrets?

"Personal problems?" Ramon repeated Giana's last sentence. "What personal problems have I told you about?"

Ramon had to know for sure, how far this woman knew his secrets or how deep and stupid he had been for doing it.

Maybe, this accident actually helped his brain to work properly...

Meanwhile, Giana did not immediately answer Ramon's question and chose to look at him deeply, considering her options; did she have to just say everything? But then, what if Ramon didn't want to see her anymore? Would he think that their business had ended just there?

No, Giana didn't want that to happen.

"There are many things that you have told me, one of them is; a problem between you and your mother," Giana said, looking at Ramon more intensively to find out how deeply he was interested in this topic.

As a businessman, you really need the ability to read the slightest change in the expression of your interlocutor when you convey something crucial, and that's exactly what Giana was doing now.

However, this most basic knowledge was not only known to Giana. And, Ramon was more than able to hide what he felt after hearing this woman's statement, so Giana wasn't sure what was going through Ramon's mind right now.

"What is that?" Asked Ramon, still in the same tone. "The problem is that she is against a past relationship of mine?"

Ramon knew that his mother was against the woman of his choice, even though at that time Lis didn't know about Giana, because during that time, Lis had a woman of her own choice and wanted Ramon to marry that woman.

However, if you think about it again, if Liz were to know about Giana, then it was certain that she would be very much against their relationship.

Lis couldn't have stayed silent knowing that Ramon was in a relationship with the wife of another man, especially if that man was from one of the five influential families in town A.

Giana fell silent again before continuing her explanation. "You mean, our relationship." She corrected. "Yes, one of them is that, but there is something else you told me that happened between you and your mother, which is very crucial."

Ramon didn't say anything, but from the way he looked at Giana, he seemed to be giving her a chance to continue her speech.

"You know something about your father's death and it has something to do with Lis." Giana said these lines in a slow tone, trying to see how Ramon would react.

However, unfortunately she didn't get what she wanted because Ramon didn't show any change in his expression at this time too.

It was very frustrating, since this man's ability in hiding what he was feeling was always impeccable.

"You assumed that Lis was involved in your father's death," Giana said again.

"Why do you think I assumed that?" Ramon asked, his eyes fixed on Giana, looking for the point of dragging her explanation.

This type of conversation was really depressing, where they not only have to strategize what sentences were right to convey, but also have to keep the other person from knowing what they were actually feeling or thinking.

Since both of them were so used to this kind of situation, they were more than capable of doing it for a long period of time.

"I will tell you, Ramon, everything." Giana reached out her hand to touch Ramon's hand, but the man made a refusal move that made Giana stop her actions. "But, this is going to be a very long discussion and it is impossible for us to do it in the car and in a situation like this."

Ramon knew very well where Giana's conversation was going and she proved it right.

"How about we talk about this over dinner." Giana then glanced at her watch which showed that it was quite late for dinner. "I have been waiting for you since noon and have not eaten anything."

This was the right strategy for Giana. At first, she was going to throw in a topic that made Ramon think twice about refusing her invitation, because after all, who wouldn't want to know about some secret thing that happened to their parents?

An invitation to dinner at this time was not an exaggeration. Because after the dinner invitation, Giana would shift places again and arrange a conversation that could pique Ramon's interest even more when they finished dinner.

And if she was lucky enough, she and Ramon could spend the night alone. Wasn't this a perfect chance? The day could end much better than what Giana thought.

"Just dinner and I will tell you about it." Giana tried to persuade Ramon. "If you think it is the only secret, then you are very wrong." She shook her head dramatically, indicating that this information was only the beginning. "You told me a lot of things and this is nothing."

Ramon narrowed his eyes. He knew Giana's game, it's just that, he saw no other opening for him to know these secrets without agreeing to this woman's invitation.

Or maybe there was another way Ramon could make use of...

"So? This is just a dinner, let's just say you are chatting with an old friend. There is nothing wrong with that," said Giana.

==============

Hailee frowned deeper when she saw that her phone call was not answered by Ramon.

What's the matter? It was unusual for Ramon to act like this with her...

Was the meeting still in progress? Or something happened? Maybe this was just an over- speculation, but most women tend to think of the worst when things go wrong.

"What is wrong?" Lexus asked Hailee, who was still standing beside him, as they followed the other guests to walk out of the event hall.

In the end, Hailee bought the last two dresses which were masterpieces of the evening and two other dresses that she felt would suit her well.

However, the pleasure of buying these expensive dresses could not replace the fact that she was feeling uncomfortable with this situation. Ramon did not answer any of her phone calls and he did not return any messages either. Where exactly was that guy?

The image of an empty chair that Giana didn't occupy made Hailee's mind wander all over the place.

Maybe, it's too far if Hailee thought that Ramon and Giana met, but that didn't mean it coundn't happen right?

If Giana could come over and find the place where they honeymooned in Crestgold, it was not impossible for that snake woman to know that Ramon did not come with her to this fashion show.

Ugh!

Hailee hated this feeling of anxiety!

"My brother still doesn't pick up his phone?" Lexus asked when he saw that Hailee did not answer his first question, and Hailee's expression showed irritation and anxiety. "Why don't you try calling Danny?"

"Yes," Hailee said in a low voice.

From afar, you could see their car that would lead the two of them back to the Tordoff residence and Lexus opened the door for Hailee to let her enter first.

In the distance, there were Aileen and Theodore who were about to get into their car as well, and the two of them gave Hailee and Lexus a meaningful glance. It's just that they both didn't think this Gevano couple was that important, so they didn't even notice it.

Especially when Hailee seemed to be in a bad mood for not being able to contact Ramon.

"I have been trying to reach Danny, but he doesn't pick up my calls either," Hailee said grumpily, then slipped her cell phone back into the little handbag she was carrying.

Hearing that, Lexus also tried to contact Ramon and Danny, but none of them picked up his call.

It was only after three attempts with the same failed results that Lexus began contacting one of Ramon's bodyguards, where the latter informed him that Ramon was already at home.

"He had gone home?" Hailee stared at Lexus in disbelief when he finished talking with the bodyguard.

"Yes, apparently so," Lexus said in a relaxed tone, trying to calm Hailee down. "My brother was probably taking a shower or doing something and didn't get to look at his cell phone."

Hearing that, Hailee still seemed unable to accept the excuse, but she did not argue, because in her opinion, it was a little absurd.

"You can ask him directly later when we get home," added Lexus.

Maybe Hailee's anxiety was too much, but as a woman, sometimes she would feel a sharp intuition when something went wrong.

==============

The first thing Hailee said when Martha greeted her was to ask if Ramon had come home or not.

Her heart felt a little better when she heard Martha say that Ramon had arrived home an hour ago and was now in their room.

Hearing that answer, Hailee headed straight to her and Ramon's room when she found out that the man had returned first.

Her heart kept beating unpleasantly, because she couldn't understand why Ramon didn't even pick up a single phone call from her when he had came back a long time ago. It worried her that something bad had happened.

Hailee's footsteps echoed in the hallway of the house until she stopped at the door to their room and then opened it immediately.

"Why didn't you pick up any of my phone calls?" Hailee immediately grilled Ramon with the question when she saw the figure of her husband who had just come out of the bathroom. It seemed that he had just finished taking a shower.

While drying his hair with the towel in his hands, Ramon glanced at Hailee through the mirror in front of him as she stood behind him with a sullen face.

"I was checking some work and after that took a shower, so I didn't have time to check my cell phone," Ramon answered.

"You made me worry," Hailee grumbled and then threw herself on the sofa. "I thought something happened to you."

Ramon then turned around to face Hailee, his gaze looking intense when he said, "Giana came to see me earlier."
